"Ethos fail"

Well, you could have made it simpler for me if you'd actually read the thing you linked to:

I don't have to pretend anything, other than that there's any point in dealing with you when you can't see your own glaring contradictions.

Racial purity and violence are crucial elements of fascism. They're literally part of its definition.

I am unfamiliar with it, because race wasn't a concept. It's an entire taxonomic discipline that didn't exist during the time periods you mention. Romans were citizens. Gauls with citizenship were Romans. Saxons were Romans. Britons were Romans. It's a completely different concept. Romans never spoke of themselves as…

Oh wow.

Spinning out into irrelevancies.

Most guys aren't aware of this (because you never listen!), but menstruation actually robs the brain's crucial Coding Lobe of its primary blood supply, thus making female programmers useless 20-25% of the month.

Oooh, I 'memba!

"So you've talked to all 60 million of them and confirmed that they are all indeed racist, misogynistic, xenophobes?"
